Bio:
Julie Ault is an artist who independently and collaboratively organizes exhibitions and multiform projects. Her recent projects include a permanent work titled Points of Entry, for the City University of New York (CUNY), Queens, New York. She is the editor of Alternative Art New York 19651985 (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press and The Drawing Center, 2002). In 1979 Ault co-founded Group Material, the NYC-based collaborative which until 1996 produced installations and public projects exploring interrelationships between politics and aesthetics.
Martin Beck is an artist whose conceptually driven projects are informed by issues from the fields of architecture, design and popular culture. They include an Exhibit: viewed, played, populated, Grazer Kunstverein, Graz, Austria, 2003, and storage (displayed) at Spot (New York: 1997). Beck is the author of half modern, half something else (Charles Jencks, the Language of Post-Modern Architecture, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh editions) (Vienna: Montage 2003). He also writes cultural criticism, and has been a frequent contributor to springerin and Texte zur Kunst.
Ault and Beck also work together to create projects including Social Landscape, at the Weatherspoon Art Museum (Greensboro, NC, 2004) and Outdoor Systems, indoor distribution at the Neue Gesellschaft für Bildende Kunst, Berlin, 2000. They also produce exhibition designs, most recently for XScreen: Film Installations and Actions of the 1960s and 1970s, Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna, Austria, 2003. Ault and Beck are the authors of Critical Condition: Selected Texts in Dialogue (Essen: Kokerei Zollverein | Zeitgenössische Kunst und Kritik, 2003).
